Originating from barns dating back to the mid 1700’s on the East Coast, reclaimed Oak barnwood planking is available in a range of widths averaging 5”-8” and sometimes up to 16” and random lengths typically 4’-7’ or sometimes up to 12’+. Originally reclaimed as 1” and 2” thick boards, and a mix of Red Oak and White Oak, we often mill the boards to ¾” stock or it can be custom milled thinner upon request. The original color is a mix of browns and grays depending on where on the barn was located. The original brown face usually has a circular sawn texture. This is a popular material for residential and commercial applications and can be milled for interior or exterior uses.
AS IS GRAY BARN OAK PLANKING
Originating from barns on the east coast dating back to the 1800’s, weathered gray oak barn plank is available in an “As Is” condition with the visible hardware removed and end damage trimmed. It is most commonly available in an average 1″ thickness and a variety of widths up to 10″ with occasional wider pieces. Being originally used as exterior barn siding, this material is typically weathered silver and gray on one side while the other side is typically dark brown. As Is material will typically be dirty and rough and require some cleaning or sanding. We typically inventory over 10,000 board feet of this product in units of 500 BF +.

WASHED AND WEATHERED BARN OAK PLANKING
Using our reclaimed gray oak planking, we wash and clean each board removing some of the gray coloration revealing a rich tan patina underneath while preserving the original weather worn texture that has developed over more than 100 years. The material can then be further milled, upon request, to straight cut the edges, lightly sand the face, or gauge the thickness to consistent thickness requested. This material makes great accent wall material and ceiling decking.
Additional milling options are available.
SANDED BARN OAK PLANKING
Sanded Barn Oak Planking is created by passing the individual reclaimed oak planks through a special sander which lightly sands the surface to remove the dirt and splinters while keeping the texture and patina intact. This is popular for ceiling and wall applications as well as furniture and barn doors. Further milling is available such as straight cutting the edges and gauging to consistent thickness.

SEMI-SURFACED BARN OAK PLANKING
Semi Surfaced Barn Oak Planking is created by passing the material through a special sander which profoundly sands the surface while leaving remnants of the patina and character to produce an even more refined appearance and smoother surface. This process is also referred to as “hit and miss”. It is very popular for furniture, barn doors, and wall applications. Further milling is available such as straight cutting the edges and gauging to consistent thickness.
RESAWN OAK BARN PLANKING
With the horizontal bandsaw, we can produce a fresh sawn face on both sides of the planking. This will remove the patina but leave the character marks from the nail holes, insect borrows, and seasoning checks. This material can also then be sanded smooth or wire brushed. It is a popular choice for clean bright installations that are looking for a less rustic application but want the performance of reclaimed old growth. Sorting for exclusively white oak is an option at an additional cost.

EDGE CUT BARN OAK PLANKING
For a more organic feel with lots of surface variation, we can produce pieces that are the edges ripped from the barn oak planks. These pieces vary in color and thickness to create a very interesting effect. Each piece is about 1″ wide and an average of 2″ thick. The surface can be extremely irregular with some of the edges placed far enough out to create random shelves. Note that this material is supplied in individual pieces, not as panels.
